    Stock up on pork products?

    My husband stopped at Sam's Club after work and got 8lbs of grass fed ground beef for $4.99 per lb. We want to support a local small business, but can't pay double!

    Stock up on pork products?

    I stopped at our local butcher shop on my way home from work today. 85% lean ground beef that was $5.39/lb last week is now $9.99/lb, with a 2lb limit. I will probably head to Sam's or Walmart later to see what it is there.

    Some best kept secret restaurants?

    One place that seems to rarely get mentioned, and doesn't get much love is Restaurant Marrakesh. We go every trip, and our party of 6 has never been disappointed! We have always had great meals and service. I will say, the service does always seem to be at a bit of a leisurely pace... but we...

    Can Kids Order From The Adult Menu With a Dining Plan?

    Is she your only child? The reason I ask is that we had free dining the year my kids were 11 & 9, and what worked for us was for the kids to share the 11 year old's adult meal, and then the 9 year old would order something like mac and cheese that they would share as a side. We were lucky that...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    We just returned Saturday, and I agree about the water pressure. I also felt that it might have to do with the big, "rainfall" type shower head. My daughters both have long, incredibly thick hair and it took them forever in the shower. My hair isn't as long or thick as theirs, and it took me...

    Inexpensive place to eat @ Disney Springs

    I've eaten 2 counter service meals in the last week at Disney Springs, and both were quite good. Earl of Sandwich was a good deal, with pretty good sized sandwiches for $7.99. D-Luxe Burger wasn't exactly cheap, but it was very good burgers and fries. They had "duo" specials you could order...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Thanks. I did call back later in the day and was put right through. We have been faxing room requests for years with mixed results, but it's never been that big of a deal. This year, it is a medical situation that I really wanted advice from someone actually at the resort that would...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Has anyone ever called the room allocation team rather than faxing? I have always sent faxes, but we are arriving in under 2 weeks, and I have a a very specific situation that I would maybe like one of the room allocators suggestion on. i tried to call the main number this morning and asked to...

    Hollywood Brown Derby

    Am I correct that the only way to eat at the lounge at HBD is as a walk up? We would actually prefer eating in the lounge rather than the restaurant, but I'm wondering if I need to make an ADR in the restaurant to be safe.

    Running out of scooters at the parks?

    Thank you for the replies. I've tried the appeals to rent off-site, and none of the reasons seem to matter to him. He has rented a scooter in the parks probably the last 5 times we have gone. He walks, but not well. I would say when we get off the bus at a park, we probably get to the...

    Running out of scooters at the parks?

    Does anyone have an idea of how common or uncommon it is for the parks to run out of scooters? My Dad needs a scooter in the park, but we are wanting to do a few later days this trip, and not get to the parks until late morning. Although he really should have a scooter at the resort, too...

    DHS on a ticketed event day?

    We planned a last minute (30 days out) trip to Disney. The day I'm looking at to go to DHS has an early morning magic ticketed event from 7:30-9:00, and the park opens at 9:00. Is it a bad idea to go to DHS that day? I already know we have not been able to get a FP for SDD, so if the kids...

    Annual pass worth it for discount?

    I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to get an annual pass for an upcoming trip. There is currently a room discount offer for AP holders that says "up to 40% off". Is there a way to find out if the resort we want for the week we want would be included in that offer?

    Which park would you do twice?

    I would completely agree with this. On our first trip as a family, our daughters were 15 months and 3. We were not well prepared, and our first park was MK on the Sunday of MLK weekend. We showed up at about 10:00AM and waited 45 minutes to get on Dumbo. The kids were just overwhelmed by...

    How loud is Raglan Road? (Spelling fixed!)

    I must preface this by saying I absolutely love the food at Raglan Road. That being said, I now would only work it into the rotation if it's early enough in the day. I know the entertainment is the reason a lot of people go there, but I just could not handle the mind- numbingly loud ambiance...

    Discontinued Menu Items You Want Back

    Booked the dining plan - here's why it's "worth it"

    We are a family of 4, and loved the plan when our kids were Disney children. Once our oldest got to be 10, I really could not find a way that it made any financial sense for us. On our last trip, we took a 10% discount at POFQ instead of the Stay, Play and Dine deal at another moderate. We...

    For picky kids, which Epcot restaurant is best?

    My kids are not picky eaters, but not terribly adventurous either. Ever since they were about 10 & 7, they have shared the Chicken kebab adult meal at Marrakesh. The chicken is seasoned, but not at all spicy.

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    We travel with my parents, and every year my Dad walks by that room and says, "I wonder what a guy has to do to get that room?". He has a lot of mobility issues, and I always request "as close as possible to bus stop and food court". Last year I sent a room request fax pretty much begging for...
